Indoor Chicken Recipe
Mochi · 9-year-old indoor cat · 12 lb

GRADE D
- Corn gluten meal is the 2nd ingredient, ahead of most of the animal protein.
- “Meat by-products” doesn't name the animal they come from.
- Taurine is added, which cats can't make enough of themselves.
- For an older indoor cat, ask your vet about a food with a named animal protein first and more moisture.
Why cat food is different
Cats aren't small dogs
Cats are obligate carnivores: their bodies are built to get key nutrients from animal tissue. That makes what's at the top of the ingredient list matter even more.
Taurine
Cats can't make enough of this amino acid themselves, so it has to come from their food every day.
“Meat by-products”
Allowed, but vague. A named source like “chicken” tells you more about what your cat is eating.
“With salmon”
Salmon can be as little as 3% of the food.
Beef, fish and chicken
The food sources most often behind food allergies in cats, in a veterinary review of published studies.
